[squid-users] ncsa auth cached passwd probs/

Hi

I have squid 2.4 Stable 4 running on RH 7.1. It is currently compiled to support diskd and snmp

ncsa_auth is compiled and configured in my squid.conf file which reads /usr/local/etc/passwd.

Acls are setup to allow AUTH via passwd for customers etc (config below)

My problem is that the first time i put in a username and passwd, squid lets me in, thereafter it doesnt seem to prompt me any further for a passwd despite having set the timeout. I really dont know whats happening here.

Has anyone else seen this/know whats wrong?

 2922 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -D
 2930 ? S 0:00 (unlinkd)
 5975 ? S 0:00 (ncsa_auth) /usr/local/etc/passwd
 5976 ? S 0:00 (ncsa_auth) /usr/local/etc/passwd
 5977 ? S 0:00 (ncsa_auth) /usr/local/etc/passwd
 5978 ? S 0:00 (ncsa_auth) /usr/local/etc/passwd
 5974 ? S 0:00 (ncsa_auth) /usr/local/etc/passwd

squid.conf

authenticate_program /usr/sbin/ncsa_auth /usr/local/etc/passwd
authenticate_children 5
authenticate_ttl 5 minutes

authenticate_ip_ttl 60 seconds

acl customers proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow customers

cache_effective_user squid

Can anyone shed some light on this?
